The wow version of a Great Ball.

OK, I can't find any official Blizz info on the Strong Pet Trap but from digging around the forums it appears that this allows you to capture higher level pets. It seems that it either increases the chances to capture them or its required to capture a certain level or above.

There doesn't seem to be any specific information pertaining to this item.

The counter is broke for this (at least for me). I was stuck at 37 out 50 forever. Logged out and logged in, and it jumped to 46.

I can say that it doesn't increase the capture chance, because I have a level 11 tonk and fought a level 8 polly and my trap missed like 3 times before capturing it. Even tho I unlocked the Strong trap, Xehonort "Shu'halo" to verify it.

This is not working as intended as of the 27th. I have the achievement but neither the upgraded icon and tooltip or the new animation plays, and my capture rate has remained low against higher level creatures. It's been this way for months on Beta apparently, from what I've dug up online, but they haven't bothered fixing it.

I think it will inscrease your change of capturing pets. Just get this achiv and already captured 4 pets without even 1 fail.

Strange thing is today I noticed that the achievement is missing altogether from my Achievements panel. It's not under Pet Battles, Collect, Battle or Level. I even checked Feats of Strength to see if it got moved, but it's not there either. I posted out on the battle.net forum for this bugged achievement as well: "Going to need more traps" achieve (Bug). Please add to the official forum to help out. Thanks.

The Strong Pet Trap, is an increased trap. it increases from 20% (Weak trap) to 25% (Strong trap)

Comment by jostor

You can catch any pet, it doesn't have to be unique or even something you keep. If you want to you can in fact just capture a lot of level 1 pets in your favorite starting zone and delete them right away as you catch them, although that's a bit of a waste of a lot of potential pets :)

Anyone else getting tired of this trap missing 6+ times on Battle Pets that are +/- 1 level ? Tooltip says "Capture chance is increased by 25% each time you fail." Doesn't that mean that if I miss 4 times I should have a 100% chance on the 5th attempt? Is it bugged?

Edit: Quality of the Battle Pet doesn't seem to make a difference either.

Since this page isn't presently providing it, here is a link to the Strong Trap which is awarded by this achievement.

I just got the achieve today and I did not notice anything either. But when I went back into pet battles and tried to capture a new battle pet, the trap was different and instead of giving a 20% increase each time the trap missed, it was a 25% increase. So it does appear to work, at least for me.
